What We Do

We donate hundreds of Christmas meals each year in Northwest Ohio and respond to emergency food needs as they arise. We financially support a schooling and feeding program in Peru for 24 kids every day.

The Stats

  • The 2014 Hunger In America study shows that 1 in 5 people, or an estimated 576,000 people, in Northwest Ohio turn to food pantries and meal service programs to feed themselves and their families
  • Hunger kills more people each year than AIDS, Malaria and tuberculosis combined
It's because of the donations and monthly sponsors we are able to continue our feeding program.

Meet Kate Brooke

Children’s Lantern has been able to provide Christmas meals to hundreds over the last few years. The recipients are nominated from friends, family, and local churches.Something as simple as a Christmas meal can be the act that provides hope for somebody. It’s a way to say thank you to the ones who do so much. It’s a blessing for those who wouldn’t have had food on the table. It’s a sign of relief for a parent who wanted to provide a Christmas dinner for their kids but couldn’t. I am honored to be a part of this work.
